The Sultanate of Oman ranked among the world’s ten safest countries in 2024, according to the Global Safety Report issued by the Gallup international research and polling organisation 

Oman secured fourth place worldwide on the index of countries where residents feel the highest levels of safety, particularly at night.

Oman also scored highly on the “Law and Order Index”  underscoring the steadfast commitment to upholding the highest standards of security and safety. The report highlighted that the combined focus on security and law enforcement plays a vital role in strengthening the widespread sense of safety among individuals.
